Broken Sword 5 App Reviews

This game is very well made. The story is decent, but unfolds quite slow. The puzzles are quite reminiscent of Broken Sword 1 & 2, which I recommend playing first. The first has an amazing story! I purchased Episode 2, which then starts downloading and installing more data… BUT it never fully installs. I’ve had it open and the progress bar stuck at almost completely full. Think I may just delete the game and not download Episode 2 until I’m actually that far in the game. That is, if you have it fixed and able to download by then. Still a very good game. Looking forward to finishing it eventually.

The second part wasnt as much fun as the first but the art was stellar all through. The second parts puzzles werent as interesting and some of them required you to do things just a certain way or they wouldnt work. All in all, I really enjoyed the series (Ive played all the parts and my favorite is still the first one) and would definitely buy a sequel should the devs decide to make one.

The game was really good and enjoyable. The update with part 2 is nice, but short and easier to complete. Disappointing. Especially since it costs $6 - more than part1 - and offers little play value. I paid the price expecting at least or more than the original game and truly feel cheated. This is likely the last time I buy from this company.

I liked the first part a lot. It was fun. The second part is not bad except for some nearly insolvable Puzzles. Maybe on an Ipad you can see the symbols to decode, but not on an iPhone 5S. The help / hint button is the only thing to get you out of some situations.

I am a fan of the Broken Sword series, but the download issues with episode two makes all kinds of "broken" puns possible. After uninstalling and reinstalling the game several times, the update does not work. Hopefully, the developers will fix this problem soon.

I been tried play episode 2 I cant able to download e2 it been stop download middle of it and I do same remove and then try again no lucky need to fix in future. I love to play broken sword I did play old edition on PC and now new broken sword. Hurry and fix it soon! Thank you

Ive tried everything but episode 2 download continues to stick. Please fix it soon.

Please fix the ep2 download!

I have purchased Episode 2 but cant figure out how to play it, nor even if it is downloaded properly. I had no problem with Episode 1.

Game failed twice at the same place, at the wind chimes. The key could not be obtained as the scene wouldnt open as the walkthrough said it would. Again the game was downloaded twice and it failed each time at the same place. Id think twice about purchasing this game because of the possible loss of time and money, not to mention the frustration.

I wish I would have read the reviews before spending my $ on a game I cant even play. I usually do but since I didnt have any problems with episode 1, I just went ahead & bought it without doing my research 1st. I wont do that again. Please fix this & I will adjust my rating accordingly.

Love this game! Been a fan since I first played. Been anxiously waiting to play episode 2, and now its finally available and I cant play!! I spent the $5.99 and nothing. Please fix this!!!! Or refund my $$

Update on the 08/21/2014: I finished the game after Revolution fixed the issue. Great game... but Im still mad it took so long for you release the fix. Next game, make it harder, longer please (15hours of play) August 7th 2014: I paid for ep.2 and I cannot play it!! Revolution didnt even answer my mail about it. I want a refund.

Update for episode 2: Its still beautiful, even more so than episode one. But the game play is the same, moving from room to room solving a specific subset of puzzles. That breaks up the flow of the story. Theres also a couple of horrendous puzzles including one involving musical notes and paint cans. I did enjoy the story. Its too bad the gameplay isnt nearly as good as the scenery. Review for episode 1: In this first episode you literally go from room to room, solving the puzzles within that room. Many of the situations are contrived. Everything you need will be in that room. Between rooms you will listen to a lot of dialog. When you can contribute to the conversation, it makes little difference what you select. There are unnaturally long delays when you want to talk with someone. The scenes are incredibly detailed and the animation, which is lacking for some actions, looks good. I laughed when, after Nico swept up some blood, she tucked the broom into her blazer. Its unfortunate given how beautiful the scenes look. Its all story development so far. Hopefully episode 2 will have more substance.

Love these games. Fantastic storyline combined with great graphics + interface.

I enjoyed this one. The puzzles were fun. Nothing mind blowing. The team fixed the download issue and provided great email support too.

Still not working even with this update. I see they added download controls. But status just says "waiting". Will be requesting a refund

I was finally able to download and play episode 2. I love these games! Episode 2 was definitely short for the price but the graphics continue to improve. Keep em coming :)

At first the downloader said it was downloading but stayed at 0%. Then I paused at and resumed and it worked.
